Embark on a captivating journey with Hannah Dale as she chronicles her personal quest to restore her Lincolnshire farm to its natural state, welcoming back an astounding array of wildlife. As the creative force behind the acclaimed Wrendale Designs, Hannah's artistic eye captures the unfolding transformation of her rural haven.

Over the course of a year, Hannah and her husband undertake an ambitious rewilding project, aiming to increase biodiversity and support a thriving ecosystem on their land. Their efforts herald the return of skylarks, meadow pipits, hobbies, polecats, and a host of other species to the farm. By embracing the land's inherent inclination towards wetness, they've cultivated remarkable ponds teeming with aquatic life.

A Wilding Year serves as both a journal and a sketchbook, offering readers a front-row seat to the family's rewilding adventure. Hannah's keen observations and artistic talents bring to life the beauty found in untamed landscapes, whilst documenting the incredible variety of flora and fauna that now call the farm home.

This enchanting account not only showcases the power of nature's resilience but also provides Hannah with fresh inspiration for her paintings. Through vivid prose and exquisite illustrations, A Wilding Year celebrates the splendour of wildlife across all seasons, inviting readers to witness the remarkable transformation of a once-tamed landscape back to its wild roots.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
